CHARLIE WINSTON: "LIFT ME GENTLY"

Pedida por Marcelo Argañaraz. El tono original es G#m, capo en 2.

|F#m| If this river be my death bed |bajos: F# - F - F# - G#|
|A| Made by the madness of this man |bajos: B - A - G# - F#|
And |E| my words to him be |D| thank you,
|F#m| Would the heavens unders-|E4| tand?

All my |F#m| life I’ve been a good girl,
Every |A| night I’ve said my prayers
And I |E| hope that Jesus |D| heard me
|F#m| Through all my |D| tears.

Here's my |F#m| angels come to take me.
They are |A| haloed in the light,
But |E| I wish they’d touch me |D| softly,
They’re ag-|F#m| gressive and they’re up-|D| tight.

......|F#m| Lift me gently
......Or |A| leave me where I am.
......|Bm| I thought you’d be the hand of god.
......|F#m| But you’re just the same as |D| him.

......|F#m| Lift me gently.
......|A| Please not with human touch.
......|Bm| Christ knows I’ve had my |B7/C| share alive.
......And it |A/C#| never felt like |D| love |E4|

|F#m| So I’m face down in this river
And my |A| body is cold and useless
And the |E| angels pull at my |D| soul
|F#m| But it's anxious and it's |E4| nervous
And they |F#m| tell me

“You’re not the only one who |A| waits for their delivery,
|E| And your world’s too full of |D| lonely souls.
|F#m| And we’re rushed off our |D| feet”,
But I say, |E| please... 

......|F#m| Lift me gently
......Or |A| leave me where I am.
......|Bm| I thought you’d be the hand of god.
......|F#m| But you’re just the same as |D| him

......|F#m| Lift me gently.
......|A| Please not with human touch.
......|Bm| Christ knows I’ve had my |B7/C| share alive.
......And it |A/C#| never felt like  
......|D| love |Dm - A - Ddim --- Dmaj7 - Dm - A - C#7|

......|Dmaj7| Lift me |Dm| gently |A - Ddim|
......|Dmaj7| Lift me |Dm| gently |A|

Intro: |D - D4 - D2| x 2

|D| I'm a fool to be |A4/C#| kind to you
|Gmaj7/D| It's not what the |Am7| men in your life tend to |Em7| do
Must be so |A4| strange, finding some-|Em7| one,
who only ac-|C2| cepts you

|D| Rejection's a |A4/C#| lesson you've had
|Gmaj7/D| You're lost in the |Am7| anger you feel for your |Em7| dad
But, oh, how he |A4| loves you, there's no |Em7| doubt,
with all his high |C2| hopes for you.

......I could |D| push you away, I could |A4| say, I don't want you no |D| more
......I could |G| drive you right into the |D| floor
......And tell you you're |A4| useless
......Get used to it |G| lady |G - A4|

......But I'm |D| big in believing that |A4| baby, you're bigger than |D| that
......It's res-|G| pect for yourself that you |D| lack
......And suc-|A4| cess, it's a mood that you |G| choose
......With |Em| e-|A| very |D| step |D4|

|D| I want to grow |A4/C#| old with you
|Gmaj7/B| To hold your old |Am7| hand and look back on our |Em7| youth
I will be |A4| strong, times I might |Em7| not... I'm only |C2| human

......I could |D| push you away, I could |A4| say, I don't want you no |D| more
......I could |G| drive you right into the |D| floor
......And tell you you're |A4| useless
......Get used to it |G| lady |G - A4|

......But I'm |D| big in believing that |A4| baby, you're bigger than |D| that
......It's res-|G| pect for yourself that you |D| lack
......And suc-|A4| cess, it's a mood that you |G| choose
......With |Em| e-|A| very |D| step |D4|

So, be |D| free like a bumble bee, spread |A4/C#| wings like a bird
|Gmaj7/B| Squawk like a peacock and |Am7| let your voice be heard , it's o- |Em7| k
I have no |A4| lock, key or a |Em7| cage
You've got to |C2| want to stay

......I won't |D| push you away, I won't |A4| say, I don't want you no |D| more
......I won't |G| drive you right into the |D| floor
......But I'll tell you you're |A4| beautiful
......Get on with it |G| lady |G - A4|

......Cause I'm |D| big in believing that |A4| baby, you're bigger than |D| that
......It's res-|G| pect for yourself that you |D| lack
......And suc-|A4| cess, it's a mood that you |G| choose
......With |Em| e-|A| very |D| step 
......So |Em| take |A| a |D| step 
......It's just |Em| step |A| by |D| step

CHARLIE WINSTON: "BOXES"

Pedida por Marcelo Argañaraz, está bajada un semitono. Muy linda, eh, en todo el proceso de incorporarla (jamás la había escuchado), sacarla y traducirla (del piano a la guitarra) aprendí a quererla. La parte allá por el "with these plastic building blocks", cuando va al E7, es sublime.

As a |D| child with ocean eyes I smiled at a world existing 

|Gmaj7| just for |G6| me... |A7sus4| Without |Em| boxes, 
borders or boundaries, I built |D/A| dreams |A7sus4| 

But like |D| plastic building blocks, they were knocked down to the ground 

|Gmaj7| I grew |G6| up... |A7sus4| to a |Em| world of compromise

Analising what it means to |D/A| dream |A7sus4| |D2/F#|

......|G6| I don't really wanna understand  
......|D2/F#| Everything in my world

......It |Bm| spoils the fun for |D/A| me |D2/F#| 

......|G6| Come on darling you can take my hand
......|D2/F#| Blowing kisses in the wind
......We'll |F#7| fly away in our |Bm| dreams

......|Bm/A| From the |Em| boxes they'll |A7sus4| put us |D| in

|D| Who shall we propose to be?
Who am I sup-|Gmaj7| posed to |G6| be ?

|A7sus4| With these |Em| empty building blocks

I could make a |D/A| thou-|A7sus4| sand |D2/F#| me's

......|G6| I don't really wanna understand  
......|D2/F#| Everything in my world

......It |Bm| spoils the fun for |D/A| me |D2/F#| 

......|G6| Come on darling you can take my hand 
......|D2/F#| Blowing kisses in the wind
......We'll |F#7| fly away in our |Bm| dreams

......|Bm/A| From the |Em| boxes they'll |A7sus4| put us |D| in

............And I'm |C2/11+| told we all fit in

............But |G/B| why should |Em6| I 
............be-|G/A| long to |G2/13| one thing?

............|D| Who shall we propose to be?
............Who am I sup-|Gmaj7| posed to |G6| be? 
............With these |Bm7| plastic building blocks

............I could |E7| make a |A6| thou-|A7| sand |A*| me's

......|G6| I don't really wanna understand  
......|D2/F#| Everything in my world

......It |Bm| spoils the fun for |D/A| me |D2/F#| 

......|G6| Come on darling you can take my hand 
......|D2/F#| Blowing kisses in the wind
......We'll |F#7| fly away in our |Bm| dreams

......|Bm/A| From the |Em| boxes they'll |Fdim| put us in |D/G - A6|

Final: |G6 - A - D| x 2
